Hey, I have them too, but so does almost every one, they will fade with time (mine look slivery now almost invisible...I'm very pale naturally ) and if you want to really moisturize with oils and cocoa butter that will help with skin elasticity! Good luck, don't let it hold you back!

Remember these are mainly cause by weight gain and sudden growth. They just appear more visible because the skin is looser in that area now... Adding muscle can change the amount they are noticed.Health Question & Answer

Did you gain a lot of muscle when losing weight.? That can cause stretch marks. Or perhaps your diet lacked calories AND nutrition.?

"Stretch marks can also result from nutritional deficiency. Be sure to consume foods that promote skin health: foods rich in zinc, such as nuts or fish; foods high in vitamins A and C, such as carrots and citrus fruits and milk; protein-rich foods, such as eggs."

I looked it up on wikipedia and another website, they have some good advice:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Striae#Prev...
http://www.medicinenet.com/stretch_marks...

Surgery is probably the way to make them the least noticeable. My advice is just allow them to fade. Drink lots of water, try those lotions wikipedia advised and don't be too self-conscious. Most people won't really care, they're not as noticeable as you think. As for showing off your new bod, just wear tight clothing. Health Question & Answer
